Things to share from my business journey

When do you give up?

Zoe from InnerCompass has highlighted a great video about keeping on going till you’ve got nothing left. It is a great reminder that we can sometimes give up on a project too early when if we’d stuck it out, the breakthrough was just ahead. This can be the case in a community organisation or in business (particularly microbusiness). There are many obstacles in life and sometimes it is easier to give up than to overcome. In a community organisation it could be the difficult person on the committee who blocks everything you raise as a volunteer or in business it might be the project taking a lot longer than you had planned and that time lag being out of your control. Zoe’s post highlights the importance of a good coach. The video is very inspiring.
What situations have you been where you were tempted to give up and then the breakthrough or win occurred?

I agree with you – I worked for twenty years in the not-for-profit sector and it really does feel like hard slog sometimes….but then you have those days when things come to fruition, you get a big win, and you see the outcomes of your work, and it makes it all seem worthwhile.
